Sterling: Victory Over Chelsea Is Vital

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has pointed out that a victory over Chelsea on Sunday is vital.

City started the campaign on a high with a 3-0 win over West Brom, thanks to a brace and Kompany header.

Summer signing Raheem Sterling believes it is crucial that City seal a win over title rivals Chelsea on Sunday.

â€œI’m hoping this one will go our way and it’s vital that it does. We’re on our own ground and with it being our first home game of the season, we want to get off on the right foot,â€ he told the clubâ€™s official website.

“I’ve done alright against them in the past and results-wise, I think it’s been pretty even overall so far in the matches I’ve played in.

“The only promise I will make is that I will try my best at all times – I will aim to create and score as many goals as I can for the team and work really hard every week.

“I’ve set myself targets for goals and assists and I know where I want to be but I don’t really want to reveal what they are because I’ll put myself under massive pressure – but I’ve got personal goals that I want to reach this season for City and hopefully I can meet them.”
